public spirited men for support, or fl
mourning debts; no necessity for the board
of regents TO extend efforts outside of those
that are supposed 10 be exerted by them in

the fact that L believe viii be rea lied, and
realized soon, when the Executive and the |

cannot then but all of us look forward with
